“The future is built on the past, and we have a great legacy there.” Confesse Sir Robert Kadoorie.
The Peninsula hotel chain is the oldest and most iconic chain of luxury hotels in Asia, a chain that has, over the years, been able to preserve a number of traditions in all its hotels. Although each hotel is unique and has its own special character, they all share a number of elements representative of the Peninsula style, such as the grooms, the lobbies, the famous afternoon teas, and the Rolls-Royces. There are now ten hotels in the chain, each a multiple prize-winner, in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo, Beijing, New York, Chicago, Beverly Hills, Bangkok, Manila, and Paris. To gain a clearer understanding of the philosophy of this unusual chain, we need to go back into the past, into a history almost as old as that of the city of Hong Kong.
Petite histoire de Pierre Hermé en un coup de macaron
En France, les magazines se sont emparés du personnage, il est notre Pâtissier préféré. Au Japon, Pierre Hermé est carrément une star nationale et, pour le plus grand bonheur de nos cousins Anglais, ses macarons ont traversé la Manche. Et tous les autres gourmands, dont nos chers lecteurs américains, peuvent passer commande en ligne, c’est magique !
